For those who heard of this before, let me clarify, this is not a post about AWARE.
It's about the importance of the values of Trust, Respect and Choice in any relationship.
Some couples get married and forget that their spouse is still an individual, one who has their own opinions and right to act. We tend to forget that our spouse has their own right to make their choices, even those that might not be favourable to the family.
In times like this, we need to trust them and respect their decision. but of course it is easier said than done.
What would you do or how would you react if you learnt that your spouse quit his/her job even though you dont quite agree with the decision? (Or other major decisions without your consent)
Yes, there might be bills to pay, the economy is lousy, unemployment rate is high, it was a high paying job...
the reasons to stay are endless, but have you truly listened and understood the reason behind the choice. did you show respect and trust that the choice is the right one?
Sometimes it's about respect, sometimes it's about communication. but end of the day, you love the person and should show your support and/or respect.
I would, even if it was a totally silly decision. People have to learn to make mistakes, and grow from there. If they never took that first step, they would never know where it would led them to.
Challenges and Opportunities are pretty much the same thing, just depending on how you view them.
Trust that the Choice is right. Respect Choice.
